Java and COM (Component Object Model)

949079Jul 12 2012 — edited Jul 13 2012
Hello All,
I am new to programming in Java (i.e. know the control flow statements, classes and objects, inheritance, etc. new to GUIs) and was wondering about something....
Using Java, can I design applications that can control/interact with other applications that expose a COM model, such as MSExcel, Autodesk AutoCAD, etc.?

I would be very interested in creating an application using Java, that parses through a spreadsheet in Excel, and populates some parts of an engineering drawing in AutoCAD for me.

Before I start struggling with the details, I wanted an expert opinion on if this is even possible. Also, if it is, I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction...

Thank you so much for your responses in advance,
Mohnish
